An Actor’s Least Favorite Question

I know a few actors who are constantly working, but for the most part, even successful ones are wondering what their next gig will be. This blogger below, Patti Murin, puts it very nicely.

I’ll never forget, before I ever attempted screenwriting, I saw a production of “Exit the King” at a tiny theater and loved it. A few weeks later, I sat down for a beer with my ex. It was a large busy bar, and it took a few minutes for a waiter to see that we’d seated ourselves. He finally came around, and looked oddly familiar. My ex recognized him first: “It’s the king!” I was surprised at how abashed and annoyed he was. We eventually became good friends and still have a laugh about it now and then.
